Building undergoes several remodeling projects
Editorial reprinted from Aberdeen American
News, February 1968
The Aberdeen YMCA was built 41
years ago. At that time it provided
adequate facilities for this city, when
it had a population of 15,000 to
16,000. Today, with a population of
more than 50 percent as large as it
was when the building was construct­ed,
the Y is literally bursting at the
seams. To properly perform its func­tion
for the physical and moral devel­opment
of the youth of Aberdeen, it
is now absolutely necessary that the
building be enlarged and remodeled.
Let me cite a few specific examples
why this is true. At the present time
the Y has 61 basketball teams going
for 425 boys and 150 girls. We have
one basketball court. We most cer­tainly
need another gymnasium for
this activity alone.
Anyone who belongs to the Health
Club in the Y will tell you that the
place is so jammed with lockers that
there is scarcely room enough left for
the members to change their clothes.
In the entire Y building there is only
one toilet with one stool for women
and girls and at times there are as
many as 200 girls in the building.
For nearly a year, the Y board has
been considering what should be done
to correct the crowded conditions in
the Y. We hired a firm of architects
in Chicago who specialize in the
preparations of plans and specifica-

tions for construction of new Y build­ings,
remodeling or adding to existing
Y buildings. After studying our pres­ent
building, the firm made recom­mendations
to us for the remodeling
of our existing building and an addi­tion
to it, which the board of direc­tors
have unanimously approved.
According to the proposed plans, the
present basement will be almost com­pletely
remodeled so as to provide
ample space for lockers and wire
baskets for all members who partici­pate
in the activities, and adequate
dressing room and shower baths,
including a relocated sauna bath
room.
In the proposed new addition to the
basement, there will be two handball
courts, thus providing a popular new
activity for the members. There will
also be a weight lifting room in the
new addition.
On the present first floor there will
be only minor remodeling. However,
in the new addition to the floor there
will be a new gymnasium, 41x60,
with 22 foot ceiling, the same as in
our present gymnasium. This new
gym will be used for basketball, vol­leyball,
badminton and gymnastics.
A considerable part of our existing
second floor is used for dormitory
rooms. The partitions between all of
the dormitory rooms on the second
floor will be removed and the second
floor will be completely remodeled so
